    <p>I'm having a little trouble with duplicate keys. I'll start with my code.</p> <pre><code>// Prepare to select all liabilities $stmt = $con-&gt;query("TRUNCATE TABLE `Students`"); $stmt = $con-&gt;prepare("SELECT student_no, legal_first_name, legal_surname, oen_number FROM csv_students"); $stmt-&gt;execute(); $stmt-&gt;bind_result($sid, $fname, $lname, $oen); $stmt-&gt;store_result(); $updt = $con-&gt;prepare("INSERT INTO Students (Student_ID, Last_Name, First_Name, OEN) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?) ON DUPLICATE KEY DELETE FROM `Students` WHERE OEN = ?") or die(mysql_error($con)); // Prepare to insert a new liability $updt-&gt;bind_param("ssss", $sid, $lname, $fname, $oen, $oen) or die("Not sending var"); // Bind variables to the result of the query while($stmt-&gt;fetch()){ $updt-&gt;execute() or die(mysqli_error($con)); // Execute the query } $updt-&gt;close() or die("Not closing after send"); // Close the statement $stmt-&gt;free_result(); $stmt-&gt;close() or die("Not closing after collection"); </code></pre> <p>So I'm trying to get the variables from the first table and insert them into the second, but there's about four entries per student (one for each class). Basically, I'm getting them all and then trying to say "on a duplicate key, delete the last entry that has the same oen number. It's giving me the error "Warning: mysql_error() expects parameter 1 to be resource, object given in /var/www/ride/admin_settings/csv/students/update.php on line 23" which is on the line where we see the ON DUPLICATE KEY piece of code. Anyone have any idea what's going on?</p>

    1. COIt does not look like your code is using `mysql_` functions, which means this wont work `die(mysql_error($con))`

    2. COYou shouldn't be using `mysql_error()` - did you mean `mysqli_error($con)`, or something similar?

    3. COSorry, the error it's giving me now is: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DELETE FROM `Students` WHERE OEN = ?' at line 1

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
